Tumor emboli entering the sinusoids through the liver blood supply appear to be physically obstructed by the Kupffer cells, but if tumor emboli are larger, they tend to become lodged in the portal venous branches.

Macrophages are diffusely scattered in the connective tissue and in liver ( Kupffer cells ), spleen and lymph nodes ( sinus histiocytes ), lungs ( alveolar macrophages ), and central nervous system ( microglia ).

Iron accumulates preferentially in Kupffer cells, which are located in the liver, and serum ferritin increases; less iron is available for circulating transferrin, a protein that binds iron and transports it through the bloodstream to cell receptors.

:In the histological schematic you are talking about, hepatocytes are endothelial, they form sheets with clear lumina ( is that the plural for lumen ? ); and kupffer cells are connective tissue ( they are really just special macrophages ).

In 1874 he was the first to describe the bacillus that causes typhoid fever, later to be known as " Salmonella typhi ", and in 1898 was the first to correctly identify the liver's Kupffer cells as specialized macrophages.

:: What about say specific cells like hepatocytes, kupffer cells etc . Do they have to fit into the'primary'tissue classification ? ( cells do make up the tissue after all-they only seem to fit into the connective tissue group . . .)

Hepatocytes constitute about 80 % of the cell population of the liver, with the other 20 % being occupied by Kupffer cells, hepatic stellate cells, endothelial cells and mesothelial cells, which are not exactly characteristic of the liver, but are present in the liver samples.
